They are great. The power button is a bit easier to find now that there is a groove where it sits. The headphone hole is slightly small... some headphones will not fit. For those, I use a 1st gen iPhone adapter from DLO. Works perfectly. The volume buttons are easier to find now and are more assuring when being pressed. With the matte material, it's not exactly like the finish of the 8x itself, but is not slippery at all. It's got a lip for the screen so when you lay it flat on a table the screen doesn't touch the table.

I can vouch for how awesome it is, however I love my new Rock Naked Hard Case, for anyone interested check my recent threads. This Diztronic case was my favorite, however it was a little thick to my liking.
